"... ownership is the most intimate relationship that one can have to objects. Not that they come alive in him; it is he who lives in them." - Walter Benjamin
Just curious, how come you mentioned he wasn't popular around these parts?
Oh, just kinda a joke because even though alot of the collectors I talk to have similar lists of favorite artists, not one of them have brendan on their lists. I think he has alot of fans, just for some reason not with people I hang out with.
Also, there was the whole fiasco behind his red sour release that had people upset but most people don't blame brendan for that. I wasn't implying that he wasn't popular as a person because he's real nice...
By the way he has a show coming up at Little Cakes that I'm looking forward too in June. Theme is gardening which will be perfect for his "organic" work.

I thought that was all it might be. He is definitely one of my favorites, if not top 5, definitely 6 or 7. In addition, your collection of Monroe's is great. Hopefully he will have something small I can afford at the Little Cakes Show, as a piece of his has always been one of my missions.

I hope he has something like this since the theme seems to fit.
One of my all time favs but the owner wants $4250 for it and it's only 8 x 13"! Pretty steep so couldn't bring myself to do it.

that is a really good example, however it does seem a bit much. As much as I like him, I am sorry to say I have never seen one in person. Do the pictures generally do them justice? - or are they the type that the textures, color and detail just don't come through on photo's?

yah, it's kinda cliche but brendan's work totally looks more complex and detailed. he layers his paints and builds up some area so that it sticks out from the canvas. also, he does some multimedia work in some of his pieces and that adds really nice texture to his work. in fact, i would have to say out of all the art i have, his is the most textured.

A little fun pic after I decided to move one of his paintings above the fireplace. Would love to display it this way but afraid of earthquakes and not sure how to secure the sculptures. Maybe wires with ends nailed into wall?
